Well, I don't think that is the _point_ of DHCP;
a minor bye-product, maybe.

But I don't understand why you don't give your machine
the name you want it to have.
I would have thought a computer was an obvious place to store its name.

Incidentally, what is the entry in your dhcp server's /etc/dhcpd.conf
relevant to the machine that doesn't get a name?
